ABC News | Trump rolls out national plan to address veteran suicide
President Donald Trump and his administration on Wednesday rolled out the general contours of a plan to prevent military veterans and other Americans from dying by suicide, including increasing public awareness, improving training in workplaces and revamping how data on suicides is collected and used.
A federal task force set up last year by a presidential executive order spent at least a year developing a "roadmap" for how to curb the 6,000 deaths by suicide among veterans each year -- a rate that is, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 1.5 times that of the general population. |
